Kyra and Brock walked down the streets, Zack and Tylor close behind. Nobody seemed to noticed anything different about them, other than the cloaks. After taking a look around, to make sure no one was watching, they ran into the alleyway and into the resistances base. Papers were scattered everywhere, tables and chairs were knocked over and the lights flickered on and off.
"It looks like a tornado hit this place," Zack said, pulling down his hood.
"More like the Overlord's army," Brock scoffed. "There has to be something here to help us find them. Everyone split up and look around."
Brock started stepping over the mess on the floor, making his way towards the back room while Zack and Tylor started looking through the papers. Kyra looked around, then started walking towards an opening in the wall to her left. She walked and found it was a hallway. She followed it and froze when she saw a blinking yellow light. She ran towards it, thinking it might be important. She slid to a stop, looking in the doorway, finding a room with a computer in it.
"Brock!" she cried.
She heard someone stumbling, then Brock was at her side.
"The computer is still on," he cocked his head. "Strange."
"Do you think it could have any information on it?" Kyra asked.
Brock made a face, then walked over to it. He hit a couple keys and the screen blurred to life. A map showed, with 7 blinking dots.
"The trackers," Brock gasped. "They activated them."
"What?" Kyra asked.
"We placed trackers on the masters with powers, including William," Brock explained, looking back through the doorway, seeing if Zack or Tylor were there. When they weren't, he grabbed Kyra's wrist.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
Brock pulled up her sleeve, revealing her communicator.
"We all lost ours," Brock said.
He opened a compartment and pulled out a black wire, plugging it into the computer. Kyra watched as a bar appeared on the computer, downloading something. Then the screen read download complete and Brock unplugged it, retracting the cord.
"There, now we can find him," Brock told her.
Then a loud scream filled the base. Kyra and Brock exchanged worried looks, then ran towards the main room. They slid to a stop, seeing Tylor and Zack, cornered by a group of the Overlord's guards. Brock pulled Kyra around the corner, into the shadows. They peered around, watching with concern and worry.
"Where are they?" a guard demanded.
"I don't know who you're talking about," Zack replied.
"Kyra and Brock," the guard spat. "If the civilians know that the girls alive, we'll lose control and we can't have that, can we."
Zack gulped. Brock tapped Kyra, motioning for her to follow. Kyra nodded and then snuck along the wall, staying in the shadows.
"Find them! They can't be far," the guard ordered.
Brock and Kyra jumped into a sprint, Brock leading Kyra towards another exit. Then a loud gunshot rang out through the building, followed by another one. Kyra jumped and tripped over herself.
"Come on, we have to go," Brock told her.
Kyra looked back, seeing guards with lights looking for them. Kyra scrambled to her feet and began running again. They made a turn and ran out of the base, into the streets and never stopped. Kyra was falling behind, so Brock stopped.
"Are you alright?" Brock asked her.
"My ankle," Kyra told him. "I think I sprained it when I fell."
Brock bit his lip, looking around. He saw a door, boarded up, but the boards were loose. He picked up Kyra and carried her over. He pulled on the board, but instead of popping off, it snapped. He pushed open the door, and Kyra crawled after him.
"Where are we?" she asked.
"I don't know," Brock told her.
Kyra looked at her communicator, confused.
"Um….Brock," she whispered. "It says someone is right on top of us."
Brock looked at the small screen, and his eyes widened. A red dot, blinking and sitting right on top of their location. Brock tensed, looking around, but all he saw was darkness in the room. Then someone, or something hit him across the head. He fell onto Kyra, who jumped.
"Brock!" she cried. "Brock! Wake up!"
She looked up, terrified.
"Please," she begged. "Don't hurt me."
"Kyra," a voice replied. "Is it really you?"
Kyra's eyes widened as the figure of a young boy appeared in front of her. She couldn't make out his features, but she recognized the voice from anywhere, whether or not she had forgotten almost everything.
The young girl sat in the darkness, her mother yet to be brought back to her. It had been at least an hour, and she was starting to worry. Then the door slowly opened, but instead of a man, she saw a woman. No, not just a woman, a ghost woman.
"Come on, I'm getting you out of here," she whispered.
"But, my mom," the girl started.
"Is already out of here," the ghost told her. "I've got this under control. I promise. Come on, we don't have much time."
The girl nodded, climbing to her feet. She ran towards the ghost. Then they started running through the twisted hallways of the lab they were trapped in. Then a loud alarm went off, red lights flashed and guards filled the halls.
"They know you escaped," the ghost said.
The girl looked around as men looked around for her, hunting her. The ghost pushed open a set of doors and they found several sets of stairs on the other side. They raced down, towards the main level, finding the stairs abandoned all the way down.
"This way," the ghost told her.
The girl nodded, following her out a set of doors into a jungle.
"I'm back!" the ghost shouted.
The the girl saw her mother poke out from a hiding spot, and smiled. She ran to her, and hugged her tightly.
"Oh my baby," she smiled.
"Mom," the girl cried.
The ghost smiled.
"Come on, we need to go before they come," the ghost told them.
"Right," the mother said. "Which way is out?"
"I don't know," the ghost replied. "All I know is that it's not safe to stay here. Come on, we'll figure it out."
The mother nodded and they started running through the jungle. The mother carried her daughter on her back, running with the ghost.
"Do you know where the others are?" the mother asked.
"Most of them are captured," The ghost sighed. "I escaped, and I think the ninja did too. We just have to find them."
"But they could be anywhere in Ninjago," the girl said.
"I feel my brother," the ghost told them. "They can't be too far apart, right."
"I guess," the mother sighed. "Plus it's our only hope."
The ghost nodded as they ran into a field.
"I know where we are," the mother said. "Follow me."
So they started walking through the field, watching around for any signs they were being followed. Hold on guys, we're coming, the girl thought. It won't be long, William. I promise.
Question: Who do you think the two girls and and the ghost are?
